Use a multimeter and read pins N (Alt Out) and P (Alt Gnd) on the STE/ICE connector. If you have voltage there the alternator is working. The ribbed connector on the voltmeter is the alternator input pin so look for + voltage there. The smooth connector on the voltmeter is the ground pin...

The unit is not a pulse generator, it's just a little DC generator. I have a couple of them and they output DC voltage when spun up with a drill.

When I installed the backup lights in my M996 ambulance I picked up power from the shifter legend lights figuring the wire was already there so I wouldn't have to run another one and the backup lights would be controlled by the OFF/DIM/BRIGHT switch on the master light control allowing me to...

Farmitall, today there are self vulcanizing silicon tapes that will to seal out water that I've been using on coax since it came out a few years ago. Like the old plumbers tape but it stands up to the sun better. It's available in several colors just like heatshrink but provides a covering...

The military OMS shops use the same off the shelf stuff you can buy to do repairs like this. Even though they'll pay 1oo times more for it because they're military. What you have are called marine heat shrink splices and are available online or at most boat repair shops. They have an adhesive...

Sarah, Did you look at the Southern Automotive website? They will have everything you need to rework the alternator.

There is no such thing as a DC transformer. When upconverting DC you use a voltage doubler or converter but the current determining factor is POWER as riderdan pointed out. Power is similar in both DC and AC circuits when you use a voltage converter only there is a small amount of power needed...

I think he just left the Fort off of Sill, Oklahoma.

The Prestolite regulator looks like a bulls eye when you look at the heatsink from the back, the Leece-Neville heat sink looks like a sunburst. They are commonly found online for around $60 US. There are 6 screws that hold the regulator assembly to the back of the alternator and it will slip...

The white "tick" mark is 28 volts and usually the gauge sits just to it's left edge. Before I trusted it though I'd get a meter on the STE/ICE pins and verify the actual voltage. These gauges are not always that accurate.

Sarah, Welcome to the Steel Soldiers Forums. You'll find there are a couple of very good websites to assist HMMWV owners with problems on their trucks. The first thing I always suggest to new owners that I can't stress enough is to get a copy of the manuals. About 90% of the questions I...

There's no easy fix for this one. While there are some aftermarket wrap around repair boots the best fix is to remove the half-shaft and replace the boot with a new one. The boots, bands, and tools to install them aren't expensive and are a worthwhile addition to your tool box. Make sure you...

If you have a multimeter you can connect it between pins T and X on the STE/ICE connector next to the shifter and read the alternator output voltage. If it's stable there your alternator is probably OK and you may have a loose connection somewhere in the line to the voltmeter. If it's...

I have both, what are you looking for specifically? The new front plates are NOS bare, unpainted faceplates and the used ones are radio takeoffs. PM me with your needs.

If you look at the installation drawings for the VIC-1 you don't see speakers because the system is designed to work with CVC helmets and various headsets and mics. The amp really isn't designed to drive speakers. There are a couple solutions for your problem though. One is to use the LS-671...

multimeter on a resistance scale

:-|

Looking for a part number or a source for these plates. I don't know if they are a standard part or if they were locally made.

Find yourself a front plate from someone who's retrofit a winch onto their truck and mount your pintle hook onto that. I had one but must have given it away somewhere along the line. That plate should be heavy enough to do what your planning.

Ken, I have no idea. The standard CUCV starter is about half the size and weight of the HMMWV starter and they're both GM 6.2 engines so the manifolds are the real difference in the lower area. Has anyone on the forum tried one? I'm sure there are lots of us who would like to know. That...
